Everyone says that Margot Robbie is the best Harley Quinn but I think this actress is the best and gets Harley's dimensions of predatory craziness and seductress then heartbroken insecurity and sensitivity fully expressed the most effectively...

I don't know. I just watched Suicide Squad a second time (once in the theater, the other day with a friend) and the words I was going to use to describe it were "genuinely terrible." I think there are a couple really good characters and performances (Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and Jay Fernandez as Diablo), but they're stuck in a really bad film. I'm curious about this "extended cut," and whether any of the restored footage makes the movie any better, but I'm not sure I want to subject myself to a third round of this thing.

i think this is a case of expectations slanting people's perception of just how bad, or not, a movie is. I thought it was a so so comic movie, like about half of all comic movies are. on the flip side, i liked Logan a lot but I don't think it is the masterpiece some are making it out to be, either

Mike Fleming Jr wrote:EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros and DC have chosen Gavin O’Connor to direct Suicide Squad 2, the sequel to the hit that will bring back Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto and the rest of the gang of villains. The decision was made today. O’Connor most recently directed the hit The Accountant for the studio, and he is working on a sequel with Ben Affleck.

Pending the final signing of the deal, this ends a lengthy search by the studio to replace David Ayer, who wrote and directed the original but moved aside to focus on Gotham City Sirens, one of the DC spinoff movies built around Robbie’s Harley Quinn character.

O’Connor came in and pitched his vision of the movie, and he will write that with scripting partner Anthony Tambakis. Warner Bros has eyed strong action directors like Mel Gibson and then had its sights set on Jaume Collet-Serra, who became unavailable when he agreed to direct Dwayne Johnson in the Disney film Jungle Cruise.

This is a big job, directing the next installment of the 2016 Warner Bros DC film that grossed $745 million worldwide. The first film was about a group of incorrigible jailbirds with special skills who were conscripted to fight terrible villains with the idea the heroes were expendable. The first film wasn’t a favorite of the fanboy crowd, but it was a big global financial hit for the studio that left no doubt of future installments.

O’Connor has mixed emotion and muscular action in films that include Warrior, the underrated film that starred Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte, as well as Pride And Glory, Miracle and his breakout indie Tumbleweeds.

Warner Bros has been moving quickly to diversify its cinematic universe. The studio set its The Hangover director Todd Phillips to direct Scott Silver’s script for a spinoff on the Batman villain The Joker, and then set John Requa and Glenn Ficarra to direct a separate spinoff for Leto’s Joker character and his demented lover Harley Quinn.

Ribbons incorrectly described it as a reboot. it is not a reboot. The Batman directed by Reeves is going to be more of a reboot, if one feels compelled to use that term as it seems to have entered the flock's vocabulary of the day.

Considering the fact that it involves a whole new set of characters, is re-casting the few returning ones, and has the exact same title as the last film except with a "The" at the beginning (just like "The Batman"), it's a soft reboot at the very least. But thanks for calling me a sheep, I guess. Seems like a worthwhile issue to pick a fight over.
